So you're talking about not just reserving something for on-disk compatibility, but also maybe implementing these for Solaris? Cool. Might be fairly useful for hardening systems (although as long as someone had raw device access, or physical access, they could of course still get around it; that would have to be taken into account in the overall design for it to make much of a difference).
Other problems: from a quick look at the header files there's no room left in the 64-bit version of the stat structure to add something in which to retrieve the flags; that may mean a new and incompatible (with other chflags(2) supporting systems) system call? Also, there's no provision in pkgmap(4) for file flags; could that be extended compatibly?
